Counting Sheep, Counting Minutes...Counting Hours? peer at the clock face.
The hands seem to creep ever so slowly, each tick a reminder of time's drift. Is it just me, or does tolerance start to fade when the minutes stretch into an eternity? I turn restlessly in bed, my thoughts whirlwinding like a hamster on a wheel. Sleep seems distant, and the only thing keeping me company is the relentless clicking of that infernal clock. Maybe I should resort counting sheep again... but truthfully, how many cottony creatures can one person visualize? Maybe it's time to forfeit this hopeless battle and just cave to the inevitable.
